Which methods should be thread safe?

[J Alder]

I am creating a data file with methods

insertRecord

updateRecord

deleteRecord

findRecords

getSize

Which methods need to be syncronized? Any input would be appreciated..

It depends on the degree of concurrency and lock granularity that you want
to implement. Any method that updates a resource in a way that may cause
a conflict it should be synchronized.


updateRecord and deleteRecord will have to be synchronized in all cases.

Good Luck,

Ako
